CMWKSD -Chapter 104 Adding Another Battle Record

Seeing Jiu Yue staring intently at General Shen, Concubine Zhu instantly felt a sense of crisis, as if someone had her by the throat.

In her eyes, Jiu Yue was nothing more than a shameless woman who wanted to enter the General’s residence, to become General Shen’s woman and thereby obtain wealth and glory.

Concubine Zhu looked at Jiu Yue the same way she looked at those gaudy, cheap temptresses outside.

Clearly it was Shen Zongsheng’s leg that was broken, yet she insisted on speaking directly to General Shen.

If that wasn’t seduction, then what was?

Little did she know that Jiu Yue was looking at General Shen the same way one would look at a walking bundle of banknotes.

The more problems there were, the more silver she could earn, wasn’t that right?

And who was the one truly in charge of the Shen household? General Shen.

If she wasn’t going to look at him, then who should she look at?

Having lost her authority over household affairs, Concubine Zhu’s anger had yet to dissipate.

The way Jiu Yue looked made it seem as though she was either seducing someone or demanding money.

But all of that belonged to the General’s residence. In other words, Concubine Zhu had long since regarded everything in the General’s residence as belonging to her grandson.

After all, the only descendant left in the General’s residence now was her grandson.

Feeling herself superior to others, Concubine Zhu no longer put anyone in her eyes.

She pointed straight at Jiu Yue. “Master, look at her! Who knows whether she can really cure Fifth Young Master’s leg? I’m afraid she’s harboring some filthy intentions, deliberately coming here to seduce you!”

Concubine Zhu’s reckless words instantly changed the expressions of everyone present.

Shen Zongnian panicked and jumped to his feet. “Concubine Zhu, what nonsense are you spouting?!”

General Shen glared angrily at Concubine Zhu, about to speak—

When Jiu Yue clenched her teeth hard. She truly couldn’t tolerate it anymore. Turning sharply to Ji Yiqing, she said coldly, “Ji Yiqing, can I really not hit her?”

Ji Yiqing froze for a brief moment, just about to answer.

After all, this matter counted as General Shen’s family affair.

Surely General Shen would give both Jiu Yue and him a satisfactory resolution.

Yet Jiu Yue had already stood up, tilting her head left, then right, her fingers cracking loudly as she clenched her fists. “I can’t take it anymore!”

If it weren’t inappropriate, Jiu Yue would have already started cursing.

What kind of trash was this? A head full of filthy thoughts—she was even worse than Jiu Yue herself!

Before everyone could recover from Concubine Zhu’s outrageous remarks, Jiu Yue’s words fell—and her foot shot out in a kick.

Concubine Zhu let out a sharp scream and was kicked flying.

The entire courtyard echoed for a long time with her pig-slaughter–like howls.

Jiu Yue had never possessed any virtue of respecting the elderly or cherishing the young when it came to beating people.

Anyone who provoked her—whether eighty years old or one year old, as long as they were human—

No, sometimes what provoked her didn’t even have to be human.

Jiu Yue never turned anyone away. She hit first and asked questions never.

One kick didn’t vent her anger enough. She strode quickly to Concubine Zhu’s side and kicked her again.

Concubine Zhu slammed into the edge of the flowerbed in the courtyard and violently spat out a mouthful of blood.

The Shen family was completely stunned by Jiu Yue’s outburst.

Ji Yiqing hurried forward, wanting to pull the furious Jiu Yue back.

Good heavens! This was, after all, the General’s residence. No matter how wrong Concubine Zhu was, this was still someone else’s family affair.

Jiu Yue acting like this could easily leave a bad impression.

Worse yet, people might think she showed them no respect at all.

Even if the Shen family didn’t mind, Ji Yiqing didn’t want Jiu Yue to leave an image of being domineering and unruly in their eyes.

What he didn’t know was that not only did the Shen family not feel she was domineering—they felt her temperament was very much in line with that of a military household.

Jiu Yue’s words were sharp and cutting, every sentence biting: “Are you blind, or am I blind? Do you really think I’d fancy that old man? Open your damn eyes and look clearly—that is my husband! My husband is tall, handsome, and smart! I’d have to be insane to go seduce an old man who’s already half-buried in the ground up to his neck!”

“Your brain is full of shit, and you think everyone else’s brain is full of shit too?!”

Ji Yiqing had just reached Jiu Yue’s side when he heard her praise him so bluntly. His face instantly turned red.

General Shen—the old man half-buried up to his neck—fell silent.

…That really didn’t need to be said so directly.

Shen Zongnian and Shen Zongsheng both felt deeply embarrassed. A maid-born concubine and a noblewoman raised by an aristocratic family were truly different.

If their mother were managing the household today, this situation would never have happened.

They had long known that Concubine Zhu was short-sighted and had made plenty of herself before.

They never expected her to open her mouth today and spew nonsense right in front of Jiu Yue.

It truly angered the Shen family’s men to the point of near explosion.

Jiu Yue kicked Concubine Zhu twice more, leaving her half-dead on the ground, and finally felt much more satisfied.

But still fuming, she no longer wanted to treat Shen Zongsheng’s leg.

She had come with good intentions, yet the Shen family allowed some concubine to run wild right in her face.

Did they really think she, Jiu Yue, had no temper at all?

She turned around and glared viciously at the three Shen men.

Then she said to Ji Yiqing, “Ji Yiqing, go get my medicine box. We’re leaving. I’m done serving this place!”

Ji Yiqing obediently blinked, his face still flushed.

His mind was filled with Jiu Yue’s words about him being tall, handsome, and brilliant.

At this moment, whatever Jiu Yue said went.

He immediately trotted into the room to fetch the medicine box.

Shen Zongnian anxiously glanced at Jiu Yue and hurried after her. “Doctor Jiu Yue, it’s not like that! We didn’t mean this at all. We… we were just too shocked to react.”

General Shen also understood from Jiu Yue’s earlier words that his fifth son’s leg could still be cured.

Thinking of how Shen Zongsheng had grown increasingly gloomy and withdrawn since injuring his leg, the old father’s tears welled up.

He no longer cared about anything else. A military man was like this—everything was written plainly on his face.

He followed behind Shen Zongnian and stood before Jiu Yue.

“Doctor Jiu Yue, please don’t be angry. That’s just one lowly concubine of mine. Her words don’t count for anything. If Doctor Jiu Yue is truly upset, then that concubine is entirely at Doctor Jiu Yue’s disposal.”

“My sons and I have never thought that Doctor Jiu Yue harbored such filthy intentions. Doctor Jiu Yue is upright and noble, and I am already an old man—how could I ever be worthy of Doctor Jiu Yue?”

Ji Yiqing: …

Shen Zongsheng: His father really went all out. Even belittling himself—was that really okay?

Shen Zongsheng had been extremely agitated. Jiu Yue’s words clearly implied that his leg could be treated, that he could stand again, walk again—how could he not be excited?

Yet it was all ruined by Concubine Zhu.

He shot a vicious glare at Concubine Zhu lying on the ground.

Concubine Zhu had already been kicked several times and was in such pain she felt like she was dying.

But seeing that no one cared about her—not only did they not care, they were even coaxing the person who kicked her—

She opened her mouth to wail, but suddenly felt a chill run down her spine. Turning her head, she met Shen Zongsheng’s fierce gaze.

It was over…

Concubine Zhu fainted dramatically.

Before losing consciousness, she only knew that she was finished—that she had acted impulsively.

She had completely forgotten that since being confined to a wheelchair, Shen Zongsheng had become unpredictable and volatile.

Now that she had caught his attention, what good end could she possibly expect?

Jiu Yue shot General Shen a cold glance—only to see him lift a cup of tea and, with a pa, splash it straight onto Concubine Zhu’s face.
